Ocwen was a big help in my family keeping our home, they worked with us to get through the Harp. During and after that and currently anytime I need help or clarification they are always easy to get on the phone, they always talk clear and have great data, they ask good questions and always have been understanding and are clear about what is possible. This is a great company that really does solve problems, it would not be saying too much that at least in my case Ocwen even achieves morality, which is difficult to do in a for-profit business. Ocwen might be the best customer service company in the United States.

My experience with Ocwen has always been exceptional. When we went paperless, I didn't check my statements for several months causing our online account to become inactive. That resulted in our not being able to log in. I called customer service expecting an unfriendly, condescending representative to scold me and make it difficult to reset our account. I found the opposite. The man was kind, friendly, and helpful. He had us back on track in just a few minutes. What a relief! I am a satisfied client.

I would not be in my home if it were not for the programs offered by Ocwen. I have established an amazing relationship with my relationship manager. Whenever I share my experiences with friends and family, they often tell me their mortgage company is not like that. I know of people who lost their homes because the mortgage company would not work with them. I am grateful for Ocwen.

Ocwen has consistently been in favor of my needs as a homeowner. The Compassion that they show for a person, with real everyday problems, one they could relate to as a customer, not a 1/5 multiple choice format to choose from employee, at a Mortgage company that is trained to answer the phone's for the day, tell the customer about their multiple choice questions offered up in order to be able to further assist them. Well as we all know, life is , and always will be , Just one surprise after another, some good, some bad, but definitely fall under much more than a 1-5 odds that all & everyone's individual, circumstances, would have A LOT more, multiple reasons why they need compassion and understanding with their individual circumstances.

Help them, us with what we really need or want to keep us happy, in our homes continuing our dreams, relating to it and caring enough to make sure we get all our best options and answers for our questions. I would like to be able to make sure everyone knows that Ocwen is the answer for your needs as a homeowner, mortgage company, relationship when purchasing your home, for real help as your mortgage company you can expect to receive the customer care you hope for and deserve as a homeowner and a person.

My wife and daughter had a terrible accident and my daughter died at 24 yrs old. My wife is now permanent disabled. The Ocwen people don't care and instead of helping me modified her mortgage has destroyed her credit. She is on social security disability and Ocwen violated the credit reporting act ,and destroyed my disabled wife's credit. As a result they are kicking my disabled wife and me and other children out of my own home. I asked them just to modify the mortgage so my wife can pass in her own home. Ocwen destroyed my wife's credit and made it impossible to get her medication. I need someone to help us. Please.

Original review: Jan. 16, 2018

I have contacted Ocwen Servicing multiple times on my mom's loan, it is incredibly frustrating trying to work with this company and even more frustrating that they are completely ignorant to the fact that what they are doing is illegal. Here are some of the issues I am trying to get resolved: Ocwen neglected to pay the Home Owners Insurance on time and the policy was cancelled. They are collecting double for the taxes due on the home, I have contacted them and they justify this by stating that they did a escrow forecast for the previous year and this is what they accessed for the what they should be collecting, the taxes are 5119 annually, they are collecting 9,756.

My mom's loan is in default because she can't make the elevated incorrect payment, she is on a fixed income and has since tried sending them payments to keep her home and Ocwen keeps sending the payments back and tacking on more and more fees... This has to be illegal, this is the worst company I have ever dealt with, they mishandle funds, incorrectly assess taxes, neglect to pay taxes and insurance on time and take advantage of older homeowners who don't have the means to defend themselves, if there are any attorneys that can assist please let me know, thank you so much.

Carlos, we apologize for your experience. We take customer feedback very seriously and we appreciate the opportunity to address your concerns regarding your mother's account. A member of our Ombudsman team will review the account and contact you.

Original review: Jan. 9, 2018

Purchased house in 2004 with, what are real estate agent describe as "creative financing". One primary lender (Adjustable Rates), and a secondary lender (Balloon). Due to unforeseen circumstances we fell behind on both mortgages. In February, 2017 we had a house fire, totally gutting one bedroom and heavy smoke damage to bath, living room and kitchen. (Insurance was for "structure only".) When we were finally able to live in the house again (10 weeks) I started working with lenders to work out arrangements with them.

The primary lender worked with us and we are now in our fifth month of that agreement. Secondary lender (Ocwen) requested additional paperwork which needed to be received by them no later than November 3, 2017. I faxed requested paperwork to them on October 23, 2017, (I have confirming fax receipt). Waited for confirmation, and on December 6 were served with a Notice to Quit, as of January 15, 2018. I contacted lender explaining all, they asked for a copy of confirmation receipt, which I faxed to them, along with all the original paperwork faxed in October).

Today they informed me there is nothing they can do. I have no where to take my family. My husband barely gets around now (two hips and one knee replacement). My daughter who lives with us, along with my three grandchildren, has been at Bristol Hospital, Behavioral Medicine wing since December 31 with severe anxiety and depression. Dissatisfied doesn't even cover it.

Carol, we take customer feedback very seriously and we appreciate the opportunity to address your concerns. Our Ombudsman team will contact you to discuss this further.

My husband had became disabled in August of 2017. He no longer has an income. He was finally approved for permanent disability but will not receive payments until March of 2018. He receives $154.00 per week for temporary disablement. This is obviously not enough money to pay all the bills and the mortgage. His permanent amount will not be enough either. We struggled with what to do and finally chose to do a deed in lieu. Ocwen has been extremely courteous and understanding. They have never made us feel bad about our decision. We truly appreciate them!

It is always a pleasure to speak with my relationship manager. He is polite and sympathetic to my hardship. However, there were many attempts to lower my payments. My wife is fighting an illness which increases medical expenses in addition to the cost of health insurance. I am currently behind with payments and need their help. I'm receiving threatening letters regarding foreclosure. We have no option to leave our home. Final modification paperwork had been sent to me for signature too late which forced me to reapply. This increased our balance. Now, the balance is twice the amount of purchase 14 years ago. I have a new manager now. Hoping for the best and praying.

They helped us with lowering our Mortgage Payment by President Obama's program. However we will have to pay a Balloon payment at the end of the term.

My account remains past due after many years and no fault of mine. When my loan was transferred to Ocwen, it showed I had missed a payment. I never missed not one payment on this account and was always on time. But the company before Ocwen took one of my payments and put it in escrow, when after several months they discovered the error they said they would fix it. They did not, the account transferred to Ocwen. Ocwen said it was not their problem, they could not fix it., So I have written several letters, no solution.

This payment is a large one with high interest, I should not have to come up with an extra $1000 because of someone else's error. But I have dropped thru the cracks and no one will fix or help. They could taken the payment back out of escrow. Homeowners always have to pay escrow as dictated anyway, it would have been no problem. Until 2 years ago I worked two jobs and did not have the time to sit on the phone trying to resolve this, Now I am dealing with a hip issue and don't have time or heart to play games but I am not now or never have been late on my payments. I DO NOT OWE ANY LATE CHARGES AND TELL THEM SO EVERY MONTH WHEN I MAKE MY PAYMENT.

Denise, Ocwen takes all feedback very seriously, and we apologize for your frustration. Your information has been sent to our Ombudsman team to review your account and they will contact you to discuss further.

I never had problems with my mortgage payments, One day my mortgage invoices came from Ocwen. Now I have nothing but problems and frustrations, not counting with the enormous amount of trash mail begging for refinancing applications. Last month they refused to cash my mortgage check sent on the 1st, then they told me that I needed to pay over the phone with fees added, I had to beg them to dismiss the fees, and they assured me that they would not cash the check I had already submitted, but if they did and the check had a stop order, that they would charge me another horrible fee, even though they already got a second payment over the phone. Well, they did cash the check on the 17th. A double payment of over $3000 each ($6000) was taken in one month. Nothing but crooks and irresponsible organization. I'm out of Ocwen and in the process of refinancing through a different lender. No more Ocwen thank God.
